Strange. I'm not aware that any other svn operation was locking the WC,
although I don't remember the sequence of events that triggered it. I
did leave it for a while and jumped around other folders to see if they
were affected too (they weren't), before killing the cache. Strange too
that killing the cache should fix it if the lock was held by another
process. Sounds like the lock was held by the cache itself.

Does the shell put a normal overlay even on the .svn folder if the cache
cannot return status?
